Finding peace on the yoga mat

?Trust that you are where you need to be in this moment??

These words rang so true for me this evening during what was possibly the greatest yoga class I have ever taken.

I don?t know whether it was the instructor, or whether I was in an open mood, but I arrived at the gym feeling ?off? but left feeling oh so right.

It wasn?t that anything in particular happened to put me in an ?off? mood this morning, but I was feeling emotional and a little too focused on what I don?t have, rather than what I do have.

Knowing that exercise normally brings me back into the ?light?, I tucked my yoga mat under my arm and headed to the gym.

I arrived early so hit the treadmill for a 5km run, then headed straight to the yoga room for an hour long class.

It was hard, it was hot, and it was humbling. And it was the perfect cure.

I found peace on the yoga mat.

I arrived home happy but famished and set about roasting some veggies.

Broccoli?

Brussel sprouts (oh I am so excited to see these back in the shops!!!!)

And of course, sweet potato?

Served all together with a little slice of veal.

It was then time for some rugby watching, with a little snack platter of course?

Strawberries, sweet potato crisps, brie and crackers.

Go Wallabies!

What about you? How do you cure the blues?

Happy Baking :)
